Last week, Adele celebrated her 32nd birthday, and to mark the occasion, the 15-time Grammy winner shared her first post to the photo-sharing platform since December - breaking the internet in the process.
The British singer captioned the image to her 33.6 million followers:
"Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time. I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels. 2020 okay bye thanks x"
And there's no denying that Adele looked amazing - with fans filling the 'Chasing Pavements' singer's comments section with compliments. "THAT WAIST IS SNATCHEDDDDDD!!!! [sic]," one Instagram user wrote, as YouTuber James Charles corroborated, "YOU LOOK AMAZING."
However, Adele's new look also received a lot of comments from people who thought she looked like 45-year-old American actress Sarah Paulson:
Paulson is known for starring in Ryan Murphy and Brad Fulchuk's popular anthology horror television series, American Horror Story, for which she has received five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and won two Critics' Choice Television Awards.
Now, during an interview with SiriusXM’s Jessica Shaw on Thursday, Paulson has responded to the lookalike comparisons, saying: "This has been going on for a while […] listen, I’ll take it!
"What I wish they were comparing was my talent to her talent to say mine is as great as hers, which, quite honestly, they can’t say because no one’s as talented or great as her, which is really irritating, but I’ll take looking like her.
"Man, she’s a beauty. So, sure, give it to me. I’ll take it. I’ll take it."
Last year, Adele showed off her 30lbs+ weight loss in a series of pictures - first at Drake's birthday party back in October, then second in a Christmas snap she shared on December 23rd.
The singer showcased her incredible weight loss after filing for divorce from her then-husband Simon Konecki by in September. They had separated last April.
